Show Flowers by Sheri Jones

Show Flowers by Sheri Jones

16 x 8 oil on Raymar canvas panel

My sister Pam and her husband Dan were in Hawai during the opening reception at my solo show in Granbury. They were unable to attend, but sent these beautiful flowers straight from the island.  It was such a treat to receive this special delivery.  They made a beautiful center piece for the show. I knew I had to paint them.  This was painted with a palette knife.

Iceland Poppies II by Sheri Jones

Iceland Poppies II by Sheri Jones

20 x 10 oil on canvas

I created this as a commission for a customer that saw a small version in my show in at Tarleton's State University- Dora Lee Langdon Center in Granbury.  It is always helpful to paint a study before painting on a large canvas and this one was seemed to paint itself.  I painted this one with a palette knife and lots of thick paint.

Gray Day Study by Sheri Jones

Gray Day Study by Sheri Jones

9 x 12 oil on Raymar canvas panel

I painted this at a Jill Carver plein air workshop in Waxahachie, Texas. She is a skilled and talented teacher. She packs a lot of information in her workshops. If you ever get a chance to take from her I would jump at it.  The main lesson on this day was recognizing and applying the right value.  The gray grain towers against the gray day was perfect for this.

 I know the bluebonnets aren't blooming yet, but know they are coming. The weather has been beautiful recently and Spring is right around the corner. 

I am getting excited about participating in the Paint the Town Paint Out April 15 - 17th.  The area has a wealth of inspiration for the plein air painter.  The wildflowers should be in full bloom and beautiful.

Tulips by Sheri Jones

Tulips by Sheri Jones

8 x 10

I attempted to create a painting similar to this a year ago. The painting didn't work out and should have been a wiper. I was working from a set up in the studio and took some photos for future reference. The light was appealing in the photo I thought I would give it another try.  I like this one much better. This painting is available for purchase through

10 x 10 oil on canvas

I created this as part of the challenge Michael Naples posted on Daily Paint Works this week. The instructions were to paint this lighter using burnt siena, ultra marine blue and white. I was surprised you can get such a wide range of values using such a limited palette. It was a fun challenge. I painted this with a palette knife.  Sold

River Bank by Sheri Jones

Riverbank by Sheri Jones

8 x 10 oil on canvas

This was inspired by a photo I took in the Willow City Loop area. This is in the Texas Hill Country and a location that is well known for it's wildflowers in the Spring time.  I enjoy the flowers, but the low river bank is a lure for me. I am attracted to the path the water makes and this draws me in.  I created this with a palette knife and lots of paint. This painting is available for purchase. $100.00
